    IoT-Based Smart Hydroponics for Automated Nutrient, Climate, Irrigation, and Health Monitoring
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ashik M.A.M; Bogahawatta C.A; Perera M.R.D; Dassanayake D.R.I.P; Jayakody, A; Gamage, N
    This study presents HydroNutraLeaf as a selfgoverning hydroponic tower system built with Internet of Things technology to automate the critical aspects of hydroculture farming by uniting water supply management with environmental control and watering systems and plant health monitoring capabilities. The system unites multiple essential components to operate as one unit. The system incorporates an automatic plant disease detection system through real-time image acquisition which uses Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithms and cloud-based warning protocols for classification purposes. An automated system comprising Raspberry Pi actuators, NPK sensors, and machine learning functions delivers nutrients at proper stages during plant growth. A reinforcement learning system directs the management of climate factors including temperature and humidity together with Light Emitting Diode (LED) spectrums to achieve superior yield production and product quality. The system includes a self-operated irrigation system with Electrical Conductivity (EC), potential of hydrogen (pH) regulation features which utilizes SVM-based prediction methods in combination with real-time monitoring to achieve optimum root environment conditions. Users can access a dashboard in Grafana to monitor and control the system by using cloud platforms which include Firebase and AWS. The experimental findings reveal water consumption decreased by 30% along with improved nutritional efficiency reaching 25% and enhanced crop yield reaching 15% with better health performance. The sustainable farming operations and commercial greenhouse implementation benefit from HydroNutraLeaf solution which operates through a scalable model based on data analysis and requires minimal human intervention.

    "Cropmaster" - Real-Time Coordination of Multirobot Systems for Autonomous Crop Harvesting: Design and Implementation
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Pramod, I; Arachchi, A.M; Rashen, C; Chinthaka, G; Pandithage, D; Gamage, N
    The CropMaster is an autonomous rover system designed to enhance Scotch Bonnet production by improving disease management, crop sorting, autonomous navigation, and real-time environmental monitoring. Equipped with sensors to measure sunlight, humidity, pH, NPK content, and soil moisture, the rover securely transmits analyzed data to a web-based dashboard. LIDAR technology enables efficient autonomous navigation, allowing the rover to move around fields and avoid obstacles. The MQTT protocol facilitates communication between multiple rovers, preventing duplicate measurements and ensuring data is sent to the dashboard for comprehensive data collection across large areas. TensorFlow's machine learning models allow the rover to accurately assess crop health and detect early-stage diseases, followed by automated pesticide and fertilizer application through a spraying system. To maintain reliability, the rover's operations, including data transfer and task execution, are continuously monitored for Quality of Service (QoS). All collected data is stored in the cloud for long-term access. Built with a lightweight aluminum and plastic chassis and robotic arms, the rover is designed for adaptability and operational efficiency, aiming to improve crop management and increase yields across extensive agricultural fields.

    Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation in Enterprise Network Architecture: A Real-Time Optimization Approach
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Wickramasinghe T.M.L.D; Costa M.M.R.S; Dissanayake S.C.W.; Abayakoon A.M.W.Y.; Lokuliyana, S; Gamage, N
    Enterprise networks increasingly rely on cloud platforms, remote collaboration tools, and real-time communication, placing high demands on bandwidth availability and responsiveness. Static bandwidth allocation approaches often fail to adapt to dynamic traffic conditions, leading to congestion, inefficiency, and degraded Quality of Service (QoS) for critical services such as VoIP and video conferencing. This research introduces a novel real-time bandwidth allocation system that integrates Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), supervised machine learning, and Linux traffic control (tc). Unlike prior solutions that focus only on classification or simulation, our system actively enforces bandwidth policies based on live predictions. Traffic is captured and analyzed in the WAN, while adaptive policies are deployed in the LAN. A web dashboard offers real-time traffic and bandwidth visibility. The proposed system addresses realworld enterprise challenges by enabling intelligent, responsive bandwidth management without requiring costly infrastructure changes, achieving measurable improvements in latency, throughput, and application-level prioritization.

    UrbanGreen - E-Waste Detection and Analysis using YOLOv5
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Madusanka A.R.M.S; Nawaratne D.M.R.S.; Gamage, N; Attanayaka, B
    E-waste has become a global concern that challenges environmental sustain ability. The disposal of electronic devices is often poorly managed, especially in urban areas. This research aims to develop an innovative e-waste management system suitable for urban areas, focusing on accurately identifying electronic devices and their harmful components through advanced image processing techniques. (Y olov5) The system identifies various electronic devices, harmful components and materials and assesses their recyclability, improper disposal's environmental and health impacts, empowering users to make informed decisions about disposal and recycling. The system will integrate tools to identify E-waste, promote the reuse of electronic devices, educate the public through interactive educational platforms, and locate nearby e-waste collection centers. By addressing these critical aspects of e-waste management, the project aims to provide a useful platform to manage e-waste effectively in urban areas. This paper was developed to discuss E-waste detection and analysis using YOLOv5 object detection model.
